Distribution of level curvatures for the Anderson model at the localization-delocalization transition

Condensed Matter 2009-10-28 v1

Abstract

We compute the distribution function of single-level curvatures, P(k)P(k), for a tight binding model with site disorder, on a cubic lattice. In metals P(k)P(k) is very close to the predictions of the random-matrix theory (RMT). In insulators P(k)P(k) has a logarithmically-normal form. At the Anderson localization-delocalization transition P(k)P(k) fits very well the proposed novel distribution P(k)(1+kμ)3/μP(k)\propto (1+k^{\mu})^{3/\mu} with μ1.58\mu \approx 1.58, which approaches the RMT result for large kk and is non-analytical at small kk. We ascribe such a non-analiticity to the spatial multifractality of the critical wave functions.
